... Looking for an EVENT (MFC) ? ...

Hello everybody,

My problem is :

I'm using a CEdit control and i'd like to do something when the user has
pressed on the keyboard.

But i'm looking for the events 'something ..KEYDOWN' and it doesn't appear
in the 'Event Handler', but i know that the 'CEdit' class is derived from
the 'CWnd' class , right ? and i've seen a fonction that can be implemented
in CWnd class :

afx_msg void OnKeyDown( UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags );

So, my question is :

How to get the Events of the parent Class in the 'Event Handler' (or
somewhere else perhaps ...) ?

.... I have Searched in the MSDN, and i have found nothing, perhaps you know
in wich chapter i have to go ...

Thank's to anyone.

Driss

More Exactly, how to ... :

.... get the Events of the parent Class (here CWnd)
-> in the 'Event Handler' of the Inherited class (Here the CEdit control) ?
....

Thank's

Driss.

If I understand you correctly, You are looking to add a message handler to
your Edit class for WM_KEYDOWN.

Just right click on the class in class view and choose "add message handler"
and add WM_KEYDOWN to your class. You also use the class wizard todo the
same thing.

Not sure if that is what you needed but anyway.

Hi Brian,

Thank's for your answer. But there something i don't understand. When you add a CEdit control on the dialog box, it comes with the name 'IDC_STATIC'. With this name, the control has a lot events, all of their name starting with 'WM_...' , including 'WM_KEYDOWN'. But as soon as i change the name of the control, i call it for example 'IDC_MYEDIT', i have other events, only 8 events :
EN_CHANGE / EN_ERRSPACE / EN_HSCROLL / EN_MAXTEXT

EN_VSCROLL / EN_KILLFOCUS / EN_SETFOCUS / EN_UPDATE

and no more events like :

WM_...

Why ? Why i can not have the 'WM_KEYDOWN' event when i change the name of the control ???

Thank's for your lights....

Driss

I missread you and assumed you had you own CEdit derived class already made.

Anyway this is what you need todo.

1. Make a new class derived from CEdit. (CMyEdit)
2. add the WM_KEYDOWN handler for that class.
3. add control member to the Dlg class for the Editbox using you new class.

I can send you an exmaple project if you want just send me an email at
brian@bkp-online.com.
